Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey have revealed how their first IRL meeting went down. The two actors star alongside each other in the Showtime series Fellow Travelers as two political staffers who enter into a secret relationship in 1950s Washington, DC.

Their characters first meet over a glass of milk, oddly enough, and the actors’ first meeting in real life had a similar projectory! Find out more inside… While it was a glass of milk in the show, it was over coffee for Matt and Jonathan. “It all started on Cumberland Avenue,” Jonathan told E!
